WHITE LION
Live Action, Michael Swan, South Africa, 2010
According to Shangaan legend, the birth of a white lion is a gift from the ancestors–it’s presence ensuring peace and prosperity across the land. Many years had passed since one had been seen in the African Valley, when a cub named Letsatsi is miraculously born. Cast out of his pride, Letsatsi embarks on an extraordinary adventure in search of a new life and a new home. Meeting friends like Gisani, a young Shangaan, along the way, Letsatsi discovers the true meaning of friendship and the significance of becoming the lion he was born to be.
